1. Panama Canal in the News

Historical Perspective

On the many workers' lives lost trying to build it:

Who were they and where did they come from?
2. First Attempt (French)

In the 1880s, the French tried but failed to build a Panama Canal.

They finally gave up in 1889, after years of fighting a recalcitrant landscape, ferocious disease and spiralling costs

AND the deaths of 22,000 workers! .

archive.ph/8FqKiImage
3. From Suez to Panama

Ferdinand de Lesseps's success in building the Suez Canal in 1869 was utterly derailed by the abysmal failure of his subsequent effort to build the Panama Canal due to disease.

Bankruptcy!

800 thousand people had invested their savings in the project! Image

1. Russian Biolab Claims: A Controversial Topic

Good luck using your critical thinking skills to seperate wheat from chaff so that you can decide what is propaganda & what is fact.

Of course the easy options are to dismiss everything as lies or to swallow everything as fact.
2. What I recommend

If you are interested in a balanced analysis of the Russian claims and all the detailed evidence presented by Kirillov before his assassination in Moscow, as well as relted topics, then I highly recommend you plough through those threads at your leisure.
3. Documents & Russian claims on Projects UP-4 (avian flu) Flu-Flyway (wild ducks & bird flu), P-781 (bat coronaviruses), UP-8 (CCHF, Leptospirosis Hanta viruses):

1. 'CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE"

Pentagon was told 6 times that Covid was lab leak at start of pandemic – but buried the truth, ex-intel official says.

Story now published with intriguing detail by @imogen_braddick after we informed her of John Myers Tweet

thesun.co.uk/news/32257526/… x.com/BillyBostickso…
2. John Myers said that:

he "knows with absolute certainty" that top US military chiefs were told Covid had leaked from a lab in Wuhan.

"the Joint Chiefs of Staff were briefed in October 2019 - more than five years ago - about a new virus that had leaked from a lab in China"
3. Claims

This was briefed in Oct& Nov 2019 as a lab leak.

It was in the intelligence. We briefed it. It was accepted. I briefed it numerous times about a viral outbreak and that it was from a lab.

"Over the course of late Nov & Dec, it came up 6 or 7 times in briefings.

1. WIV did have Pangolins in 2019 (we now have proof)

2. WIV isolated Pangolin/HKU4/MERS like Covs with Furin Sites in 2019, just before the pandemic!
3. Important Note

If you have not done so already, please read the linked thread above before continuing, it will make much more sense if you do so.
4. GX Pangolins at WIV in 2019!

From the Horse's Mouth in 2024!

"In 2019 & 2020, 86 anal swab samples & 80 serum samples were collected from Guangxi pangolins"

"Pangolin samples were transported & stored at Wuhan Institute of Virology, CAS"
